I'm not saying this wouldn't work -- I haven't tried to think it through
carefully -- but it just seems like an awkward approach, like it's more
complex than necessary. When you have a technology in search of a
problem to solve, in fairness you should probably compare it to other
approaches to solving that problem. (I can't really tell what user
problem you might be trying to solve here.)
